At Retreat To Throw By MIR JOHANSON
A well-rounded program was
presented, including moving
pictures from the field by Rev.
Geo. Strohm of St. Paul Bible
school. Rev. Strohm stressed
the truth that "God has pre-pared
places for prepared peo-ple."
On Saturday and Sunday
Rev. Clarence M. Hanson, pas-tor
of Immanuel Lutheran
church, St. Paul, brought a se-ries
of messages on the theme
"Mighty For God" based on
John 15:1-11. We are branches
on the vine and must abide in
Christ to be fruit-bearing
branches. His final message
emphasized the truth that there
must be love in the life of one
who is to be mighty for God.
Perhaps the most inspiring of our
speakers was Mrs. Stadscliff, re-cently
returned missionary from
Africa. Mrs. Stadscliff presented
interesting details illustrating
God's power to transform lives. Her
counsel was to learn as much as
possible about everything in prepa-ration
for service on the mission
field.
Bethel had the best representa-tion
at the Retreat. Other schools
represented were St. Paul Bible in-stitute,
Augsburg college, St. Olaf,
and Gustavus Adolphus. In addi-tion,
a male quartet from John
Fletcher college joined in the fel-lowship
and song.
School Year Nears
Completion—Dean
Seven weeks of this school year
remain before the Summer vaca-tion
will begin, Dean Emery John-son
reminds. This includes the
week of final exams.
One more holiday remains in
this school year. This is Memorial
day on Thursday, May 30. .Tohn-son
said that the annual all-school
picnic will likely be held after the
exams because the holiday falls
during the examination period.
Sophomores will step out in for-mal
attire on Friday evening, April
26, for their annual dinner. The
affair will be held in the Coffee
shoppe.
"All dates must be made
from among the class mem-bers,"
Don Johnson, class presi.
dent, announced. (Ed. note:
Johnson and Bob Hovinen are
to be encouraged and compli-mented
for their unofficial date
bureau.)

for the formal dinner are:

Last Saturday at 5:30 p. m., the
chartered Greyhound bus carrying
the Male chorus drew up with its
load before the Seminary building.
The chorus of twenty-four, with
its director, Professor Geo. Hult-gren,
and pianist, Clarence Olson,
had just returned from a 3,000 mile
trip of three weeks giving concerts
of sacred songs in 19 -Swedish Bap-tist
churches in the East.
The chorus members look back
to their concert tour as an unusual
success.

of the tour.
Bethel and its Male chorus
have much for which to thank
Hultgren. Besides being an
outstanding director, Hultgren
is a splendid Christian whom
all the singers have learned to
love and respect. Students ap-preciate
the splendid work
which Hultgren has done for
the school and its musical de-partment.
Hultgren is planning to teach at
the University of Southern Cali-fornia,
Los Angeles, during the
Summer months. The chorus ap-preciates
also Clarence Olson for
his good solos and skillful accom-paniment
at the piano.
Wherever the chorus went, It
was heartily received; people
were kind. All the meals were
provided by the churches ex-cept
the noon repast, which
was paid from chorus funds.
The first weekend of the trip
was spent in and about memory-sacred
Boston. The second week-end
found the chorus in New York.
The singers were guests at a radio
dramatization of Death Valley days
in the NBC broadcasting studios.

TRY THIS editoidd DEVOTIONAL
ON WRITING POETRY
By Isador Kanipski
Spring definitely makes a change
in a person—his personality, his
outlook on life, his expression,
even his attitude toward persons of
the opposite sex.
Things look new and one feels
differently about everything. Have
you noticed those cheery counte-nances
and classy clothes around
school lately? We haven't seen IT,
but IT's coming! What? Oh, all
the new couples which bud out
along with trees and such.
(Did you hear the one about—
quote Cliff Bjorklund— "In Spring
a young man's fancy turns to—
horseshoe, baseball, tents, and all
other things he pitches?" We know
we're behind times, but we enjoyed
it.)
Yes, and greatest of all with
Spring comes poetry, inspiring and
creative. (See "Swede's" contribu-tion.)
But, you say, I can't write poetry.
I don't believe that I can be in-spired.
(Remember? "Poetry be-gins
with a lump in the throat!")
I thought I was as hard-boiled as
anybody, and I decidedly couldn't
set two lines of verse down on pa-per.
But one day I did get an in-spiration
and wrote a poem on—
SPRING.
Just to show you that I'm a good
sport, and to encourage all other
amateurs to take their hand at this
art, I reproduce my first poem be-low,
crude though it may be. Fol-lowing
the poem, I'll tell you how I
discovered that I could write
"verse," and how you too can sat-isfy
that "lump in your throat."
"My thoughts have burned of
spring
When birds will come on wing;
The winter stays too long,
It quenches all my song.
The sun is hid in clouds
By gray envel'ping shrouds.
The once new snow is black;
All seems one endless track.
This is a cursed time,
Nature seems tombed in death—
My soul has shrunk to leath'r,
I dream of other clime.
I look again around,
And in my soul is found
A poem, inspired from all
The bleakness—what a call!
The barren trees form rows,
A patterned rhythm grows;
The grass, frost-browned, seeks
strength
To start new live at length.
Nature awaits sun beats—
Oh, come to dull landscape!
Could I this month escape
Depressing moods, defeats?
I hate this turning time;
Yet it bespeaks approach
Of newness; Mother Earth
Is recreated soon.
(Continued on col. 4)
This Way Out
Like a kitten in a sea of water living her ninth life., screaming and
gasping for breath, is Norway; and all the world sits placidly back wait-ing
and watching that last little flicker of existence of Norway's "ninth"
life.
We as students, living in a secluded vicinity near school, do not meet
the other class of youth, the youth struggling for existence.
What of the thousands of young men and women spilled from our
high schools each June and January? We know that about 18 per cent
of them will enter college after graduation, that only 22 per cent of them
will find work within a year of their commencement into life. What
does the future hold for this remaining 60 per cent of the annual crop of
human lives?
Youth of today have no challenge of rugged and wild country to sub-due
and civilize; their forefathers have done that. Youth of today is
given no challenge to marry a worthy mate and create a happy family—
the preceding generation has torn the veil away and revealed happy
marriage as a farce and an improbability. The youth of today are not
aware of the supreme challenge, the challenge of life to overcome ob-stacles
and to sidestep difficulties, to LIVE!
Must America come to the goose-stepping level of Germany? Nazi
Germany, where all boys 15 years of age and over are forced to join the
army and prepare themselves as fodder for the next attack of the vora-cious
monster, war! Shall we 'inflict upon our youth the subjugation of
the Soviet union; take away their right, as citizens of a democratic na-tion,
to religious liberty; mold them into bolts of a huge mechanism;
reduce vital, youthful energy to mere mechanical reactions? Is this the
American way out?
Youth have tried suicide as a satisfactory answer to problems; youth
have become involved in gangs leading to the reformatory and eventu-ally
to the penitentiary. Youth have shifted from state to state, retain-ing
only their parasitical nature in their travels. Youth have lived
"eight" lives seeking for solutions to their problems.—Youth, living
their ninth lives, are imploring for restitution, reassurance of their capa-bilities,
for a chance to live.
Parents, you have the incomparable opportunity of rearing youth
with a vision of things to be done and a will to do; of instilling in youth
a hope for the future; of arousing in youth a desire to develop physical-ly,
and spiritually; of encouraging youth in their ambitions and plans;
of counseling youth about their problems and mistakes. Make your
homes attractive for your children. Permit youth to renovate, at small
cost, your attics and store rooms, and to bring the gang into the home,
instead of seeking rendezvous elsewhere.
Society, you have the privilege of exalting youth's ideas on marriage,
of restoring honor and respect to that sacred institution. You are in a
position to minimize youth's mistakes, and magnify youth's possibilities.
Our government should capitalize to a greater extent on youth's
activity through organizations such as the National Youth administra-tion,
the Civilian Conservation Corps, and the Works Progress admin-istration.
America's way out? It is the cooperation and backing of parents,
society, and the government in permitting youth to realize their supreme
challenge, THE CHALLENGE TO LIVE!—Joyce Johnson.

Entered as second-class matter October 9, 1935, at the postoffice at St. Paul,
Minnebota, under the Act of March 3, 1879.
By HERSCHEL ROGERS
In a tract, "Fifty Years Of Look-ing
Down," I read Wm. Feather's
account of a young man who once
found a five-dollar bill on the street.
"From that time on," continues
Feather," the young man never
lifted his eyes when walking. In
the course of time, he accumulated
29,516 buttons, 54,172 pins, 12
cents, a bent back, and a miserly
disposition. He lost the glory of
the sunlight . . . the smiles of
friends . . . and the entire joy of
living."
This story is not unlike that of
Peter, who lost sight of Christ and
beheld the boisterous waves about
him and began to sink.
Can we gather more than but-tons
or pins by looking DOWN
rather than UP to Christ? Will we
not sink with Peter if we lose sight
of Christ and behold the boisterous
waves of temptation about us? Let
us lift our eyes and behold with
the psalmist, "The heavens declare
the glory of God, and the firma-ment
showeth His handiwork" (Ps.
19:1), that our lives may be filled
with His beauty.
Unto Thee, 0 Lord, do I lift up
my soul. (Ps. 25:1.)
POESY
'Tis Springtime, God's Springtime
Springtime in the soul;
Our hearts in sweetest rhyme,
This should be our goal.
God would have us fresh and pure
As the new born flow'r,
Pure to feel this love so sure
As a strength'ning tow'r.
All nature is so glorious
So green, so sweet and calm;
So we in life victorious
May lift a joyous psalm.
Springtime in the heart.
Oh, what a glorious spring;
Oh, let us never, never part
From this the wondrous spring.
May spring come in through love,
Into our hearts and lives,
And may we meet on strands above,
For this may we all strive.
—Sara Mae Swensson.
From death of winter late
Will spring new joys, 'bundant
In life to conquer fate.
I do of all recant."
Your inspiration, as did mine,
will probably come during some
class you don't care much about or
perhaps in chapel. But if you want
to write, put down your ideas.
To write your first poem—set
down a series of ideas. Then fig-ure
out a verse scheme and put the
rhythm into it. Of course, you've
got` to think of the rhyme too, but
it's all a lot of fun. Quite a conces-sion
from me who never did like
poetry.

Trees For Fest
Don't continue your wondering
why Prof. E. G. Norstrom paces the
campus so many times. He's just
completing his plans for the annual
tree-planting festivities which will
occur on Arbor day, Friday, April
26.
"We shall
beautify our
campus with
14 elms, two
Norway ma-ple,
one horse
chestnut, and
the planting of
shrubs by the
engine house,"
the official
tree-man dis-closed.
"The
trees will go
along the East
end of the lot."
Holes for the trees will be dug
beforehand. Ceremonies will in-clude
the setting of the trees and
filling in of soil by the students.
After the outdoor exercises,
a program will be presented in
the Junior College chapel.
Each class has been asked to
submit an eight-minute num-ber.
The day's celebration will
be concluded with refresh-ments
in the Coffee shoppe.
The committee assisting Nor-strom
in the arrangements for Ar-bor
day are: Miss Esther Sabel,
Bill Adam, and Deans K. J. Karl-son
and Emery Johnson.
Discussed Recently
Professor C. E. Carlson recently
led members of the Religious
council in a group discussion on
different phases of religious work.
The five points of the outline are
as follows: objectives, basic prin-ciples,
methods, techniques, and
evaluation.
Six objectives of the council
were listed: to bring non-
Christians to a decision, to
give experience in Christian
work, to deepen spiritual lives
of students, to maintain a spir-itual
atmosphere in the school,
to minister to Christians direct-ly,
and to establish new cen-ters
for Christian work.
Basic principles brought out in-cluded,
need of prayer, recognition
of the Bible as the Word of God,
zeal to the cause, desire to follow
God's will, manifestation of love,
and organization to include as
many as possible.
Methods to achieve the work
to be done would involve pray-er,
Bible study, promotion of a
private devotional program,
prayer towers, gospel team
meetings, constant Christian
living, chapel services, and
distribution 'of tracts.
The evaluation of the council's
work proved rather difficult, as re-ported
by George Ohsberg, vice-president
of the council. Workers
cannot always know what the re-sults
may be, however, they can
note the development of efficiency
in the work. It was concluded that
only God can really evaluate this
point.
Ohsberg intimated that he was
drawing up a similar outline for
the gospel teams in their work.

Six periodicals and several books
have been added to the collection
of books which are contained in
the Junior College and Seminary
libraries, Miss Effie Nelson, libra-rian,
announced recently.
New magazines which may
now be found on the shelves of
the Junior College reading
room are the American, ■For-tune,
Saturday Review of Lite-erature,
Hygeia, Congressional
Digest, and Minnesota History.
"These additions should be of
much interest to the reader during
the coming Spring days," Miss
Nelson remarked. "We'll see how
much it takes to keep the students
from lounging around out on the
lawn."
To the missionary-minded stu-dents,
additions have been made
which should
prove valu-able.
"T h e
Masdras Se-ries,"
several
volumes con-taining
reports
from the In-ternatio
n a 1
Mission a r y
conference in
Masdras, In-dia,
in 1936,
Miss Nelson are some of
these. Other new books purchased
from the International Missionary
council are: "Statistical Survey
And Directory Of Missions,"
"Christian. Message In The Non-
Christian World," "Evangelism For
The World Today," "World Mis-sion
Of The Church," and "Eco-nomic
And Social Environment Of
Younger Churches," "Weber's
Yearbook Of American Churches"
(1939-1940 edition) is also a recent
addition.
"The Speaker's Desk Book"
contains information and help
for prospective ministers. In
it are 5,000 epigrams classified
for reference, 1,187 anecdotes,
and often quoted masterpieces
of all time.
Student pastors serving rural
churches will also find "Highland
Shepherds" by Arthur Wentworth
Hewitt a welcome addition. The
author "deals not only with church
attendance, conduct of worship,
pastoral visiting and counseling,
themes for preaching and a ,hun-dred
similar matters, but also with
the essential nature of the Chris-tian
ministry."
The rest of the list of recent ac-cessions
are: "Fearfully And Won-derfully

Diamond Outlook
Looms Uncertain
By BERNARD HAMMERBECK
Another spring has rolled around,
and once again Coach William
Adam is confronted with the prob-lem
of producing a winning base-ball
team. Although nine lettermen
are returning for the 1939 team,
Coach Adam is a bit hesitant about
hazarding a guess as to the team's
possibilities. He believes that new
material may contribute much to
the team's success.
Warren Johnson is expected
to hold down the number 1
catching spot with Vern Pear-son
spelling him off as a relief
receiver. Johnson is just the
type of catcher that is needed
to aid a somewhat doubtful
pitching staff, for he has plenty
of fight and is a great hustler.
He also has a good arm and
swings a mean hickory. Pear-son
is also a capable receiver,
but he is handicapped some-what
by a weak throwing arm.
Coach Adam has two returning
veteran pitchers to rely upon. Or-ville
Johnson and "Micky" Mc
Olash have both had considerable
experience on the mound and are
expected to carry the majority of
the pitching chores.
However, except for these two
veterans, the pitching staff ap.
pears to be the big question
mark of this year's horsehide
gang. If one or two more ca-pable
hurlers can be develop-ed,
the Indians may go a long
way in this year's diamond
race; but if other prospective
hurlers fail to develop, the
situation looks rather gloomy.
Carl Holmberg is expected to
hold down the initial sack again
this year. "Pinky" is one of the
heaviest sluggers on the entire
club and will, in all probabilities,
bat in the cleanup position.
Other returning lettermen
who are expected to aid the In-dians
in this year's pennant
chase are Don Johnson, Del Pe-terson,
Gus Ferre, and Al
Bloomquist. However, outside
of these lettermen, Adam will
not speculate as to the person-nel
of his team. He intends to
watch all new prospects close-ly,
so that all available talent
may be mobilized for the cham-pionship
struggle.
The schedule for the 1940 season
as released by Coach Adam is as
follows: (Notice that the first
home game is scheduled for Sat-urday,
May 4.)
April:
19—Blake There
22—Luther There
26—Open
May:
4—Luther Here
10—Waldorf Here
11—Bethany Here
15—Concordia Here
17—Bethany There
23—Blake Here
25—Waldorf There
29—Concordia There
All are conference games except
the Blake tilts.

Net Prospects
Appear Bright
Prospects for a winning tennis
team appear very bright this spring.
On paper the Indians have as good
a team as any school in the con,
ference, and with the proper breaks
the Bethelites should have a suc-cessful
season.
"Cy" Young, Gordie Peter-son,
Gus Ferre, Don Johnson,
and Del Peterson are counted
upon quite heavily for this
year's net team; but several
new prospects may blossom
into outstanding players ac-cording
to all reports. Posi-tions
on the team will be filled
by a weekly round-robin tour-nament,
court-keeper Don
Johnson reports.
Tentative matches are scheduled
with Waldorf, Concordia, and -Beth-any
with a possibility that Luther
may also enter the race. Tennis
matches witfh these schools occupy
the same dates as those for the
baseball team. The net matches
will start at 1 p. m., and the base-ball
games at 3 o'clock.
Ways Of Animal
Life Shown In Zoo
Motion pictures of zoological
studies are being shown to the
first hour zoology class on Wednes-day
mornings, according to Dean
Emery Johnson, instructor in zool-ogy.
The reels of last week
showed the life of lower ani.
mats and the process of human
respiration. Other students are
invited by Johnson to see these
pictures of biological process-es.
Pictures have been secured from
the American Museum of Natural
History of New York and the Uni-versity
of Minnesota Extension di-vision.

At Retreat To Throw By MIR JOHANSON
A well-rounded program was
presented, including moving
pictures from the field by Rev.
Geo. Strohm of St. Paul Bible
school. Rev. Strohm stressed
the truth that "God has pre-pared
places for prepared peo-ple."
On Saturday and Sunday
Rev. Clarence M. Hanson, pas-tor
of Immanuel Lutheran
church, St. Paul, brought a se-ries
of messages on the theme
"Mighty For God" based on
John 15:1-11. We are branches
on the vine and must abide in
Christ to be fruit-bearing
branches. His final message
emphasized the truth that there
must be love in the life of one
who is to be mighty for God.
Perhaps the most inspiring of our
speakers was Mrs. Stadscliff, re-cently
returned missionary from
Africa. Mrs. Stadscliff presented
interesting details illustrating
God's power to transform lives. Her
counsel was to learn as much as
possible about everything in prepa-ration
for service on the mission
field.
Bethel had the best representa-tion
at the Retreat. Other schools
represented were St. Paul Bible in-stitute,
Augsburg college, St. Olaf,
and Gustavus Adolphus. In addi-tion,
a male quartet from John
Fletcher college joined in the fel-lowship
and song.
School Year Nears
Completion—Dean
Seven weeks of this school year
remain before the Summer vaca-tion
will begin, Dean Emery John-son
reminds. This includes the
week of final exams.
One more holiday remains in
this school year. This is Memorial
day on Thursday, May 30. .Tohn-son
said that the annual all-school
picnic will likely be held after the
exams because the holiday falls
during the examination period.
Sophomores will step out in for-mal
attire on Friday evening, April
26, for their annual dinner. The
affair will be held in the Coffee
shoppe.
"All dates must be made
from among the class mem-bers,"
Don Johnson, class presi.

Last Saturday at 5:30 p. m., the
chartered Greyhound bus carrying
the Male chorus drew up with its
load before the Seminary building.
The chorus of twenty-four, with
its director, Professor Geo. Hult-gren,
and pianist, Clarence Olson,
had just returned from a 3,000 mile
trip of three weeks giving concerts
of sacred songs in 19 -Swedish Bap-tist

of the tour.
Bethel and its Male chorus
have much for which to thank
Hultgren. Besides being an
outstanding director, Hultgren
is a splendid Christian whom
all the singers have learned to
love and respect. Students ap-preciate
the splendid work
which Hultgren has done for
the school and its musical de-partment.
Hultgren is planning to teach at
the University of Southern Cali-fornia,
Los Angeles, during the
Summer months. The chorus ap-preciates
also Clarence Olson for
his good solos and skillful accom-paniment
at the piano.
Wherever the chorus went, It
was heartily received; people
were kind. All the meals were
provided by the churches ex-cept
the noon repast, which
was paid from chorus funds.
The first weekend of the trip
was spent in and about memory-sacred
Boston. The second week-end
found the chorus in New York.
The singers were guests at a radio

TRY THIS editoidd DEVOTIONAL
ON WRITING POETRY
By Isador Kanipski
Spring definitely makes a change
in a person—his personality, his
outlook on life, his expression,
even his attitude toward persons of
the opposite sex.
Things look new and one feels
differently about everything. Have
you noticed those cheery counte-nances
and classy clothes around
school lately? We haven't seen IT,
but IT's coming! What? Oh, all
the new couples which bud out
along with trees and such.
(Did you hear the one about—
quote Cliff Bjorklund— "In Spring
a young man's fancy turns to—
horseshoe, baseball, tents, and all
other things he pitches?" We know
we're behind times, but we enjoyed
it.)
Yes, and greatest of all with
Spring comes poetry, inspiring and
creative. (See "Swede's" contribu-tion.)
But, you say, I can't write poetry.
I don't believe that I can be in-spired.
(Remember? "Poetry be-gins
with a lump in the throat!")
I thought I was as hard-boiled as
anybody, and I decidedly couldn't
set two lines of verse down on pa-per.
But one day I did get an in-spiration
and wrote a poem on—
SPRING.
Just to show you that I'm a good
sport, and to encourage all other
amateurs to take their hand at this
art, I reproduce my first poem be-low,
crude though it may be. Fol-lowing
the poem, I'll tell you how I
discovered that I could write
"verse," and how you too can sat-isfy
that "lump in your throat."
"My thoughts have burned of
spring
When birds will come on wing;
The winter stays too long,
It quenches all my song.
The sun is hid in clouds
By gray envel'ping shrouds.
The once new snow is black;
All seems one endless track.
This is a cursed time,
Nature seems tombed in death—
My soul has shrunk to leath'r,
I dream of other clime.
I look again around,
And in my soul is found
A poem, inspired from all
The bleakness—what a call!
The barren trees form rows,
A patterned rhythm grows;
The grass, frost-browned, seeks
strength
To start new live at length.
Nature awaits sun beats—
Oh, come to dull landscape!
Could I this month escape
Depressing moods, defeats?
I hate this turning time;
Yet it bespeaks approach
Of newness; Mother Earth
Is recreated soon.
(Continued on col. 4)
This Way Out
Like a kitten in a sea of water living her ninth life., screaming and
gasping for breath, is Norway; and all the world sits placidly back wait-ing
and watching that last little flicker of existence of Norway's "ninth"
life.
We as students, living in a secluded vicinity near school, do not meet
the other class of youth, the youth struggling for existence.
What of the thousands of young men and women spilled from our
high schools each June and January? We know that about 18 per cent
of them will enter college after graduation, that only 22 per cent of them
will find work within a year of their commencement into life. What
does the future hold for this remaining 60 per cent of the annual crop of
human lives?
Youth of today have no challenge of rugged and wild country to sub-due
and civilize; their forefathers have done that. Youth of today is
given no challenge to marry a worthy mate and create a happy family—
the preceding generation has torn the veil away and revealed happy
marriage as a farce and an improbability. The youth of today are not
aware of the supreme challenge, the challenge of life to overcome ob-stacles
and to sidestep difficulties, to LIVE!
Must America come to the goose-stepping level of Germany? Nazi
Germany, where all boys 15 years of age and over are forced to join the
army and prepare themselves as fodder for the next attack of the vora-cious
monster, war! Shall we 'inflict upon our youth the subjugation of
the Soviet union; take away their right, as citizens of a democratic na-tion,
to religious liberty; mold them into bolts of a huge mechanism;
reduce vital, youthful energy to mere mechanical reactions? Is this the
American way out?
Youth have tried suicide as a satisfactory answer to problems; youth
have become involved in gangs leading to the reformatory and eventu-ally
to the penitentiary. Youth have shifted from state to state, retain-ing
only their parasitical nature in their travels. Youth have lived
"eight" lives seeking for solutions to their problems.—Youth, living
their ninth lives, are imploring for restitution, reassurance of their capa-bilities,
for a chance to live.
Parents, you have the incomparable opportunity of rearing youth
with a vision of things to be done and a will to do; of instilling in youth
a hope for the future; of arousing in youth a desire to develop physical-ly,
and spiritually; of encouraging youth in their ambitions and plans;
of counseling youth about their problems and mistakes. Make your
homes attractive for your children. Permit youth to renovate, at small
cost, your attics and store rooms, and to bring the gang into the home,
instead of seeking rendezvous elsewhere.
Society, you have the privilege of exalting youth's ideas on marriage,
of restoring honor and respect to that sacred institution. You are in a
position to minimize youth's mistakes, and magnify youth's possibilities.
Our government should capitalize to a greater extent on youth's
activity through organizations such as the National Youth administra-tion,
the Civilian Conservation Corps, and the Works Progress admin-istration.
America's way out? It is the cooperation and backing of parents,
society, and the government in permitting youth to realize their supreme
challenge, THE CHALLENGE TO LIVE!—Joyce Johnson.

Entered as second-class matter October 9, 1935, at the postoffice at St. Paul,
Minnebota, under the Act of March 3, 1879.
By HERSCHEL ROGERS
In a tract, "Fifty Years Of Look-ing
Down," I read Wm. Feather's
account of a young man who once
found a five-dollar bill on the street.
"From that time on," continues
Feather," the young man never
lifted his eyes when walking. In
the course of time, he accumulated
29,516 buttons, 54,172 pins, 12
cents, a bent back, and a miserly
disposition. He lost the glory of
the sunlight . . . the smiles of
friends . . . and the entire joy of
living."
This story is not unlike that of
Peter, who lost sight of Christ and
beheld the boisterous waves about
him and began to sink.
Can we gather more than but-tons
or pins by looking DOWN
rather than UP to Christ? Will we
not sink with Peter if we lose sight
of Christ and behold the boisterous
waves of temptation about us? Let
us lift our eyes and behold with
the psalmist, "The heavens declare
the glory of God, and the firma-ment
showeth His handiwork" (Ps.
19:1), that our lives may be filled
with His beauty.
Unto Thee, 0 Lord, do I lift up
my soul. (Ps. 25:1.)
POESY
'Tis Springtime, God's Springtime
Springtime in the soul;
Our hearts in sweetest rhyme,
This should be our goal.
God would have us fresh and pure
As the new born flow'r,
Pure to feel this love so sure
As a strength'ning tow'r.
All nature is so glorious
So green, so sweet and calm;
So we in life victorious
May lift a joyous psalm.
Springtime in the heart.
Oh, what a glorious spring;
Oh, let us never, never part
From this the wondrous spring.
May spring come in through love,
Into our hearts and lives,
And may we meet on strands above,
For this may we all strive.
—Sara Mae Swensson.
From death of winter late
Will spring new joys, 'bundant
In life to conquer fate.
I do of all recant."
Your inspiration, as did mine,
will probably come during some
class you don't care much about or
perhaps in chapel. But if you want
to write, put down your ideas.
To write your first poem—set
down a series of ideas. Then fig-ure
out a verse scheme and put the
rhythm into it. Of course, you've
got` to think of the rhyme too, but
it's all a lot of fun. Quite a conces-sion
from me who never did like
poetry.

Trees For Fest
Don't continue your wondering
why Prof. E. G. Norstrom paces the
campus so many times. He's just
completing his plans for the annual
tree-planting festivities which will
occur on Arbor day, Friday, April
26.
"We shall
beautify our
campus with
14 elms, two
Norway ma-ple,
one horse
chestnut, and
the planting of
shrubs by the
engine house,"
the official
tree-man dis-closed.
"The
trees will go
along the East
end of the lot."
Holes for the trees will be dug
beforehand. Ceremonies will in-clude
the setting of the trees and
filling in of soil by the students.
After the outdoor exercises,
a program will be presented in
the Junior College chapel.
Each class has been asked to
submit an eight-minute num-ber.
The day's celebration will
be concluded with refresh-ments
in the Coffee shoppe.
The committee assisting Nor-strom
in the arrangements for Ar-bor
day are: Miss Esther Sabel,
Bill Adam, and Deans K. J. Karl-son
and Emery Johnson.
Discussed Recently
Professor C. E. Carlson recently
led members of the Religious
council in a group discussion on
different phases of religious work.
The five points of the outline are
as follows: objectives, basic prin-ciples,
methods, techniques, and
evaluation.
Six objectives of the council
were listed: to bring non-
Christians to a decision, to
give experience in Christian
work, to deepen spiritual lives
of students, to maintain a spir-itual
atmosphere in the school,
to minister to Christians direct-ly,
and to establish new cen-ters
for Christian work.
Basic principles brought out in-cluded,
need of prayer, recognition
of the Bible as the Word of God,
zeal to the cause, desire to follow
God's will, manifestation of love,
and organization to include as
many as possible.
Methods to achieve the work
to be done would involve pray-er,
Bible study, promotion of a
private devotional program,
prayer towers, gospel team
meetings, constant Christian
living, chapel services, and
distribution 'of tracts.
The evaluation of the council's
work proved rather difficult, as re-ported
by George Ohsberg, vice-president
of the council. Workers
cannot always know what the re-sults
may be, however, they can
note the development of efficiency
in the work. It was concluded that
only God can really evaluate this
point.
Ohsberg intimated that he was
drawing up a similar outline for
the gospel teams in their work.

Six periodicals and several books
have been added to the collection
of books which are contained in
the Junior College and Seminary
libraries, Miss Effie Nelson, libra-rian,
announced recently.
New magazines which may
now be found on the shelves of
the Junior College reading
room are the American, ■For-tune,
Saturday Review of Lite-erature,
Hygeia, Congressional
Digest, and Minnesota History.
"These additions should be of
much interest to the reader during
the coming Spring days," Miss
Nelson remarked. "We'll see how
much it takes to keep the students
from lounging around out on the
lawn."
To the missionary-minded stu-dents,
additions have been made
which should
prove valu-able.
"T h e
Masdras Se-ries,"
several
volumes con-taining
reports
from the In-ternatio
n a 1
Mission a r y
conference in
Masdras, In-dia,
in 1936,
Miss Nelson are some of
these. Other new books purchased
from the International Missionary
council are: "Statistical Survey
And Directory Of Missions,"
"Christian. Message In The Non-
Christian World," "Evangelism For
The World Today," "World Mis-sion
Of The Church," and "Eco-nomic
And Social Environment Of
Younger Churches," "Weber's
Yearbook Of American Churches"
(1939-1940 edition) is also a recent
addition.
"The Speaker's Desk Book"
contains information and help
for prospective ministers. In
it are 5,000 epigrams classified
for reference, 1,187 anecdotes,
and often quoted masterpieces
of all time.
Student pastors serving rural
churches will also find "Highland
Shepherds" by Arthur Wentworth
Hewitt a welcome addition. The
author "deals not only with church
attendance, conduct of worship,
pastoral visiting and counseling,
themes for preaching and a ,hun-dred
similar matters, but also with
the essential nature of the Chris-tian
ministry."
The rest of the list of recent ac-cessions
are: "Fearfully And Won-derfully

Diamond Outlook
Looms Uncertain
By BERNARD HAMMERBECK
Another spring has rolled around,
and once again Coach William
Adam is confronted with the prob-lem
of producing a winning base-ball
team. Although nine lettermen
are returning for the 1939 team,
Coach Adam is a bit hesitant about
hazarding a guess as to the team's
possibilities. He believes that new
material may contribute much to
the team's success.
Warren Johnson is expected
to hold down the number 1
catching spot with Vern Pear-son
spelling him off as a relief
receiver. Johnson is just the
type of catcher that is needed
to aid a somewhat doubtful
pitching staff, for he has plenty
of fight and is a great hustler.
He also has a good arm and
swings a mean hickory. Pear-son
is also a capable receiver,
but he is handicapped some-what
by a weak throwing arm.
Coach Adam has two returning
veteran pitchers to rely upon. Or-ville
Johnson and "Micky" Mc
Olash have both had considerable
experience on the mound and are
expected to carry the majority of
the pitching chores.
However, except for these two
veterans, the pitching staff ap.
pears to be the big question
mark of this year's horsehide
gang. If one or two more ca-pable
hurlers can be develop-ed,
the Indians may go a long
way in this year's diamond
race; but if other prospective
hurlers fail to develop, the
situation looks rather gloomy.
Carl Holmberg is expected to
hold down the initial sack again
this year. "Pinky" is one of the
heaviest sluggers on the entire
club and will, in all probabilities,
bat in the cleanup position.
Other returning lettermen
who are expected to aid the In-dians
in this year's pennant
chase are Don Johnson, Del Pe-terson,
Gus Ferre, and Al
Bloomquist. However, outside
of these lettermen, Adam will
not speculate as to the person-nel
of his team. He intends to

Net Prospects
Appear Bright
Prospects for a winning tennis
team appear very bright this spring.
On paper the Indians have as good
a team as any school in the con,
ference, and with the proper breaks
the Bethelites should have a suc-cessful
season.
"Cy" Young, Gordie Peter-son,
Gus Ferre, Don Johnson,
and Del Peterson are counted
upon quite heavily for this
year's net team; but several
new prospects may blossom
into outstanding players ac-cording
to all reports. Posi-tions
on the team will be filled
by a weekly round-robin tour-nament,
court-keeper Don
Johnson reports.
Tentative matches are scheduled
with Waldorf, Concordia, and -Beth-any
with a possibility that Luther
may also enter the race. Tennis
matches witfh these schools occupy
the same dates as those for the
baseball team. The net matches
will start at 1 p. m., and the base-ball
games at 3 o'clock.

respiration. Other students are
invited by Johnson to see these
pictures of biological process-es.

History of New York and the Uni-versity
